The other day someone in Q&A session was asking me for options to invest in European ETFs and I asked him not to invest in Europe. For a matter of fact, I asked people to not to in USA, but invest in India. My reasons are simple.
Europe is dying a slow death.
The growth has slowed down.
The demographics are simply not in their favor.
Their fertility rates are abysmally low, <2 across the countries…
This happens when capitalism (I’m not against capitalism) pushes woman out to work so that government gets more taxes and employers more workforce supply at cheaper rates.
Unfortunately, modern woman stuck in jobs and building career refrain from having babies which needs tons of attention & time. What a dull state.
Europe is the stagnating. Depopulation is real problem. Every other country will face the same problems if they don’t fix this thing.
I for an investor never invest in a country where there’s shrinking population, demographics not working and no growth.
Apart from investing, this is a big human problem. Our species as a whole is at threat if this modernity spreads across the world. Which unfortunately has already started.
